Stars observed in galaxies were originally divided into two populations by Walter Baade in the 1940s.

Population II stars are metal poor stars, containing about 0.1% metals. These stars can be found in the spherical portion of the galaxy (the halo and the bulge). Often these stars have tipped and elliptical orbits.

When we come to study the older populations of the Magellanic Clouds, we look past the brilliant associations with their blue supergiants and HII regions, past the Cepheid variables, ...
Population I: Stars rich in atoms heavier than helium; usually relatively young stars found in the disk of a galaxy.
POPULATION I STARS - Relatively young stars found mainly in the disk of the Galaxy. Population I stars are the most metal-rich, with metallicities ranging from ~0.1 to 3 times that of the Sun (i.e., [Z/H] from -1.0 to +0.5).
Population I
Stars rich in atoms heavier than helium; nearly always relatively young stars found in the disk of the galaxy.

Population I
Younger stars, generally formed towards the edge of a galaxy, of the dusty material in the spiral arms, including the heavy elements. The brightest of this Population are hot, white stars.

[edit] Population II stars
Population II or metal-poor stars are those with relatively little metal.
Population I stars are the young star population, having formed in the last few billion years, and are generally found in the disk of the Galaxy.
Population I stars have a greater abundance of elements heavier than helium than the Population II stars.
Population III stars are stars which have no elements more massive than hydrogen or helium. During Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the only elements that formed aside from hydrogen and helium were trace amounts of lithium.
Population I - hot, young stars present, which are chemically like the Sun; their presence indicates that current star formation is going on ...
Population I and II stars are known to exist.In the early 1990s, another satellite, the Cosmic Background Explorer (Cobe), found all-pervasive microwave radiation in space thought to be the "echo" of the Big Bang.
population I - (n.)
The class of stars with relatively high abundances of heavy elements. These stars are generally found in the disk and spiral arms of spiral galaxies, and are relatively young.
Population II Stars: Relatively old stars, containing a smaller fraction of metals, found mainly in the halo of the Galaxy and in Globular Clusters.

These old population II giant stars are mostly found in globular clusters. They are characterised by their short periods, usually about 1.5 hours to a day and have a brightness range of 0.3 to 2 magnitudes. Spectral classes range from A7 to F5.
When these population III stars died in dramatic supernova explosions, the surrounding interstellar medium was enriched with metals which had formed within the stars as they evolved.
In air containing large numbers of Aitken nuclei, the small ion population is small, the large ion population is large, and the air conductivity is low. Aitken nucleus counter =Aitken dust counter.
We call those stars with very little heavy elements "population II stars" and those with Sun-like heavy element abundances "population I stars".
Arcturus may be a Population II star and a member of the Milky Way galaxy's thick disk.
Young metal rich stars are called Population I and old metal poor stars are called Population II. (A possibly helpful mnemonic: II stars are older than I stars because II is bigger than I.) Globular clusters are old clusters of population II stars.
5 days to more than 50 days and belong to the class of relatively young stars found largely in the spiral arms of galaxies and called Population I.
In addition to cometary and asteroidal sources, a very minor but identifiable contribution to the meteoroidal population is derived from the Moon. Such particles are ejected from primary cratering of the lunar surface by large meteorites.
(Added 01/16/03) Over half a century ago, the German-American astronomer Walter Baade divided stars into three categories: Population I, Population II, and Population III.
than disk stars (there is a correlation, but there is no absolute connection between these data) * some astronomers have identified an intermediate population of stars, variously called the "metal weak thick disk", the "intermediate population II", ...
We begin this lesson by first returning to the idea of Population I and II stars and I will put them in perspective for you.
Sometimes called "Population II Cepheids," they are lower metal, lower mass versions of classical Cepheids with respectively short, intermediate, and longer periods that range to 100 days.
State reached when the number of new elements entering the population equals the number of elements eliminated from the population in the same timespan.Hence, though individuals evolve, the population as a whole remains the same.
It contains several million Population II stars, oldest stars to be observed. The stars in the center of the cluster appear so close to each other than the distance between them is believed to be only 0.1 light-years.
Cepheid variables subdivide into two classes: the classical Cepheid variables, which are population I stars-stars with a high metallicity, and, therefore, of the current generation of stars-and the W Virginis variables, ...
The ongoing loss of a dark night sky for much of the world's population is a growing, serious issue that impacts not only astronomical research, but also human health, ecology and ecosystems, safety and security, and energy conservation.
This is an odd distinction because the first stars to have populated a given region would now be classified as Population II! ...
population is growing again, and rain forest is being cut to make farmland," Sever said. The shrinking number of trees can be seen in satellite images. This decrease in trees may be causing clouds to form higher and later in the day.
Polaris pulsates with 3.97 day period. The luminosity varies by 0.15 magnitude. Polaris is classified as a Population II Cepheid. Stars of this type are about 1.5 magnitudes smaller than Population I Cepheids.

This process of being a Helium burning star lasts around 700 000 years and is the Population II stage. The star is now on what it known as the Main Sequence - an escalator that will climb, relatively quickly, to supernova-hood.
There is an entire population in which there is a continuous range of appearances, with one end of the range clearly looking less like seaweed and the other end of the range more like seaweed.
Proposed supernova could produce cosmic rays and neutron stars, first resolved stars in Andromeda galaxy, defined Population I and II stars and two kinds of Cepheid variables.

10, 1773, but he never entered it in his oroginal catalog - however, he published its description and engraving in 1807. It measures about 5,400 ly and apart from population II stars, contains two small dust clouds.
Second generation stars do not just burn hydrogen, they also burn heavier elements, like helium and metals, and were formed from supernova explosions (the debris of exploded population II stars). Our Sun is a seond or third generation star.
